2012-10-24Documentation DMA-API-HOWTO.txt Add dma mapping error check usage examplesShuah Khan1-0/+126
Enhance the document to discuss the importance of dma mapping error checks after dma_map_single() and dma_map_page() calls. Also added usage examples that include unmap examples in error paths when dma mapping error is returned. Includes correct and incorrect usages to high light some common mistakes in error paths especially when dma mapping fails when more than one dma mapping call is made.

2010-08-14Documentation: DMA-API-HOWTO.txt: rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ↵FUJITA Tomonori1-3/+3
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN was renamed to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (the commit a6eb9fe105d5de0053b261148cee56c94b4720ca). ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN must be defined instead of ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ensure that kmalloc'ed buffer is DMA-safe.
